All I know is that the sound broke with the pcm megacommit in February 2001. As a workaround I installed FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE next to my 4.4-STABLE. Quake3 derivate Wolfenstein has the same problem. As for other games, YMMV. Sometimes there is an annoying sound lag (Rune, Soldier of Fortune) which I worked around by purchasing OSS. However, some games appear to be silent with OSS (such as Quake3). So, I keep rebooting between 4.2, 4.4 with pcm and 4.4 with OSS... :-/ (and Windows '98 for games without Linux version) Karel.
